StumbleUpon's StumbleThru is a "Random Button" For TreeHugger

If you've ever learned something interesting by clicking the "Random Article" button on Wikipedia (I have!), you're going to love the new StumbleUpon button we've just launched here on TreeHugger. Called "StumbleThru," the new tool gives users a way to discover a random piece of popular TreeHugger content. Instead of pulling from our entire archive of more than 50,000 posts, StumbleThru will bring you a random page from a smaller pool of approximately 15,000 articles, photo galleries, podcast interviews and videos that have been hand-selected by StumbleUpon's 12,000,000 users. StumbleUpon delivers content based on user opinion and an intelligent algorithm, so by using the StumbleThru button you're likely to land on our some of our best or most-popular content, which makes it a great way to see some of the interesting posts you may have missed.

We understand not everyone can read all of our content, which is why we encourage readers to sign up for our daily or weekly newsletters or follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Digg or StumbleUpon. We use these services in a variety of ways, but they all help to to bring you the best links from TreeHugger and other sites we are reading each day. But sometimes you just want the thrill of clicking a button and suddenly learning about an awesome lizard with wings or seeing an enlightening map showing the true size of Africa, so the StumbleThru button will fill that craving.
